Objectives and Activities (continued)

Ensuring our work delivers our aims

We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help. The review also helps us ensure our aims, objectives and activities remain focused on our stated purposes.

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Achievements and Performance

City of Portsmouth Preserved Transport Depot (CPPTD)

The Membership responded magnificently during this period by keeping up their subscriptions and making extra donations to support our cause. Given the current cost pressures on the group consideration will need to be given to vehicle use next year.

Restoration work proceeds apace, and are just about breaking even given the vehicle restoration works which have been undertaking this year.

The usual summer events have been undertaken including open days at Wicor, Southwick Revival in June and the monthly Southsea Sunday running once a month between April and September. In October our buses again supported the Great South Run.

Medstead Depot Omnibus Group (MDOG)

Volunteer site maintenance continued monthly during the year and the bi-monthly committee meetings were held as face to face meetings. However in view of a reduction in volunteer numbers, the ground maintenance and pruning work has been outsourced to an outside contractor.

The final distribution from the estate was made and resulted in a further £16,954 being received.

The use of the legacy was considered at great length during the year, including possible repayments of loans; purchase of a further site; and improvements to the current site. Proposals are to be submitted to the next AGM.

The free bus service from Alresford Station recommenced on the first Sunday of each month from May to October.

Stedham Garage Group (SGG)

Regal 492 attended the last event in October at Amberley Museum unfortunately in the pouring rain. Thus no other movement by the other 3 coaches.

Donations continue at levels equal to expenses i.e. electricity and Rates.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Achievements and Performance (continued)

Southampton & District Transport Heritage Trust (S&DTHT)

S&DTHT has set itself the task of preparing for MoT and servicing ready for the road as many buses as possible after a long period of inactivity for them due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The relations between S&DTHT and BBMT have improved markedly over the last few months since the last BBMT AGM when a new management team took office. There is a new spirit of co-operation at the site and it is intended not to lose this opportunity of building upon this situation.

In particular the storage area is being developed and in spite of great physical difficulties in completing the hardcore crushing project, the chairman has almost single handedly collected and broken a great deal of concrete and brick material. An improvement and extension to the area will further the development of the site which will allow more vehicles to it and result in extra revenue. In support of this more vehicle owners are willing to come to Bursledon and there will be no difficulty in filling the spaces when they become vacant.

Financial Review

The total incoming resources were up on the previous year at £118,891 compared to £66,717, due to a legacy of £16,594, a £12,000 increase in donations to pre Covid-19 levels, £12,197 from the "Farewell to Southampton's Red Buses" event, and an increase in interest received of approximately £4,000.

Outgoing resources were £82,4166 compared to £64,831, due to the increase to pre Covid-19 levels of activities.

Overall there was a surplus of £36,475 compared to surplus of £1,886 in 2022.

The trustees have examined the requirement for free reserves which are those unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets, or otherwise committed. The trustees consider that this should be at a level which would cover the rental commitments for storage space, the operational costs of the vehicles, and the administration and management for the year, in the event of no income being received. The expenditure on such items was £82,416 in the year to 31 December 2023, and is forecast to be approximately £95,000 in the current year. In addition The Covid-19 grants of £47,000 will be retained in reserve as whilst the financial recovery from Covid-19 is taking place, there is now a "Cost of Living" crisis which will impact on future income, and generate cost increases. Free reserves currently stand at £140,375 (2022 - £120,083).

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate our exposure to major risks.

Plans for Future Periods

Each division is aiming to build on its activities and achievements of previous years.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WORKING OMNIBUS MUSEUM PROJECT LIMITED

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Working Omnibus Museum Project Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1. General Information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Hampshire House, 204 Holly Road, ALDERSHOT, GU12 4SE.

2. Statement of Compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

(b) Going Concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

(c) Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Significant judgements

The judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows:

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. The key assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:

(d) Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

(e) Incoming Resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

3. Accounting Policies (continued)

(f) Resources Expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

(g) Tangible Assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

(h) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold Buildings - 2% straight line
Leasehold Inprovements - 10% straight line
Fixtures & fittings - 10% straight line

(i) Heritage Assets

The charity holds heritage assets, which are tangible fixed assets of historical, artistic or scientific importance that are held to advance preservation and conservation objectives of the charity. Newly purchased heritage assets are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition.

Where heritage assets were acquired in past accounting periods and not capitalised, it can be difficult or costly to attribute a cost or value to them. In such cases, these assets are excluded from the balance sheet if reliable cost information is not available and conventional valuation approaches lack sufficient reliability or significant costs are involved in the reconstruction or analysis of past accounting records or in valuation, which are onerous compared with the additional benefit derived by users of the accounts in assessing the trustees' stewardship of the assets.

The very long expected lives of heritage assets, due to their nature, value and need to be protected and preserved means that depreciation is not material and is, therefore, not provided.

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

3. Accounting Policies (continued)

(j) Investments

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.

(k) Impairment of Fixed Assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

(l) Financial Instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

3. Accounting Policies (continued)

Financial Instruments (continued)

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

The company is limited by guarantee, the liability of each member being £1.
